Slim Dusty Rose Of Red River Valley
Let me tell you an old time story
Of a place known to you and me,
Away down in Red River Valley
There’s a flower blooming just for me.
Because her lips are as sweet as honey,
And her eyes blue as the sea,
She’s the rose of Red River Valley,
Red River Valley Rose for me.
[spoken]
I’ll tell that story now.
[Instrumental]
Many lovers have tried to woo her,
But it was not to be,
She’s the Rose of Red River Valley,
And she’s saving all her love for me.
Because her lips are as sweet as honey,
And her eyes blue as the sea,
She’s the rose of Red River Valley,
Red River Valley Rose for me.
[spoken]
Oh, let’s all ride out there!
[Instrumental]
Now I told you my old time story,
And you know what I’m going to do,
Yes, go back to Red River Valley,
And be contented for my whole life through.
Because her lips are as sweet as honey,
And her eyes blue as the sea,
She’s the rose of Red River Valley,
Red River Valley Rose for me.
Red River Valley Rose for me.
